I'm just curious on how they're allowed to do this. I live in Florida and work at a resort in the food and beverage dept as a chef. Every employee at this resort that DOESN'T work in food and beverage gets either 1 30min break or 3 7 min smoke breaks a shift, And they're entitled to it. Meaning if a Manager tries to make them work through it they can say no and just go on break. However, if you work for a restaurant in the resort or the food and beverage dept in general you get NOTHING. you're entitled to nothing. If they want to make you work 10-12 hours with no breaks they shamelessly will under the excuse of “it's a right to work state” it's fucking disgusting. I just want the same rights as other people in the same company I work for.
The manager (which makes me suspicious bc she didn't say this right away she waited til like 4pm to tell me even tho I got there at 10am yesterday). She told me I “almost caused 3 people to quit” basically last Thursday I hung out with my 2 friends who also work here (food place) one of my friends is having an issue with 2 managers (not this woman) and 1 coworker just saying all this rude stuff to her and behind her back, saying she “smells” WTF? And she doesn't, they are saying it to be rude. On Thursday she told me all of this and all i said to her (in person, while hanging out) said “i'm so sick of how those 2 managers act and I feel you on that coworker she's super rude.” All my friend did was tell the old manager we had (he left…
Long story short. A couple weeks ago, an older co-worker was overheard verbally threatening a younger co-worker (who is still in High School & this is his first job experience) behind his back. From what i understand, he basically said he wanted to go to this kid's house to punch his teeth in & continued to say some pretty nasty things about this kid throughout the rest of the week, mainly because he didn't like the kids work ethic. 2 incident reports were written up & given to HR after a supervisor was notified, but as far as I know nothing was really done. Is there anything I could do as a fellow employee, who doesn't really feel comfortable working with this older co-worker now, especially if there is a chance they could say similar things about me behind my back if they didn't like me for some reason? Update:…
A bit passive aggressive or no?
I’m not posting this to invalidate anything, I am posting this to give y’all a glimpse of what a positive future of (optional) work might look like. I am an anti work socialist whose worked in food service, schools, retail- and hated it all with a passion. I now work in a local UK social service, in an unnamed city where austerity has hit hard. The specific service is relatively new, based sincerely on some radical theories of care and social goods. Basically our mission is to cover the gap between kids being taken away into care and families who are in crisis but don’t meet that threshold. So we deal with horrific things- things like abuse, SIDS deaths, homeless teens, parents with full blown psychosis, sibling sexual abuse, and the less grim but equally important missions of supporting teen parents and parents with disabilities that impact their parenting confidence…
Savage response from being laid off
I hate my job. I'm the oldest member in the team. I don't know how I've been able to stay so long but I just can't do it anymore. I've been applying for other jobs but have only gotten refused or ghosted completely. I'm obviously not good at what I do. I'm not an “a-player” or whatever the fuck that new catchy phrase is to describe and glorify a workaholic so I won' t find a new job easily. I can' t just quit because of course, I can't risk losing everything. So I compromise my mental health just to pay the god bills. I don't know what the point of this post was. A cry for help or just to vent. I don't know. I feel so desperate.
The so-called vacation under the pear tree or holiday allowance is a financial support that an employer may provide to its crew or former employees. However, not every company employed will receive such help. Its payment is guaranteed by the company social benefit fund (Zfśs), which collects money for various social purposes. But not all employers have to create it, and not every employee will get the same amount. The amount of support depends on the employee's life, family or financial situation.
